Easy and convent hike. You might as well do this if you are in the area and the weather is decent. If you are looking for beautiful waterfall hikes... Try Gleninchaquin 13k southwest of Kenmare, the road is a little tight to get to the park, but once you are there it was worth the scary 5k drive.

Beautiful waterfalls. Lots of great points to take pictures. We took a great family portrait as the water and picturesque green background was something we couldn't pass up.

The Torc Waterfall is beautiful to see in person. The path leading up to the falls only takes about 10 minutes to walk and runs along a river that is winding around rocks and is truly magical to see. The trees were all green covered with moss and it looked like you were walking into a fairy tale. The path... More

When in Killarney two weeks ago, we’ve decided to go for an 8-km hike/ walk to the Torc Waterfalls. We started the walk at one of the two entrances to Muckross House - the ones where the jaunting cars are parked and where they start the tours and where the Muckross Abbey is.

We walked from the park entrance by the Abbey up to the falls and we were not disappointed... the falls are beautiful....breathtaking in more than one sense, as we walked up and around the falls which is a serious climb but there were great views and it was well worth the effort

this hidden gem is a must. We didnt hear of this place until dayna, our lovely receptionist at the killarney royal hotel told us about it. it is so tranquil up here and the view is so pretty. we were visiting musckross anyway, so this was a nice bonus attraction to come and see. a must when visiting killarney!

The walk to the bottom of the waterfall is well worth the effort and the fall is spectacular. The climb to the top is more of a challenge but even so worth it fo the fantastic views over the Kilarney Lakes.

This was just up the road from Muckross House and a delightful walk. The waterfall is very pretty and looks great in the photos.

The grandeur of the waterfall is amazing. The climb to the top (waterfall) is tough but well worth it for magnificent view over Killarney lakes.

The short walk to this waterfall during our Ring of Kerry tour was gorgeous. You feel like you're walking through a magical fairy forest to get to the waterfall. Stunning views!
